Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

The three framed artistic honour roll commemorates those from the Brighton Municipality who served in World War One.

The Brighton Municipal Council at its meeting last week, in response to a letter from Mrs. T. C. Hodgman, of New Town, unanimously decided that the names of all men who had been born in the Brighton Municipality, and who had taken up arms in the present war, be included in the roll of honour hung in the Council chambers.The Mercury (Hobart) 19th July 1916.

Note : the “Tasmanian War Memorials Data Base” , compiled by Fred Thornett which is located at the State Library of Tasmania, contains a comprehensive listing of the names on this honour roll.
